Amish country camping
I am looking for a campground in Ohio's Amish country. Not one of the RV parks (parking lot) but a nice campground with space and scenery. Any info would be much appreciated,thanks!

Off topic, but had to share, we went to an amish community while on vacation in gettysburg PA, while touring the amish countryside, we came across a roadside stand where amish folks were selling homemade pies, etc.. Well they had real homemade birch bark beer. We.bought some, and then I looked at the young amish girl behind the counter and asked, "do you have any ice?"..... She looked at me, and then it hit me... DOH!
She very well could have had ice. I live in the county of one of the largest populations of Amish and Mennonite communities in North America. Refrigerators, stoves and some freezers are converted to propane. What you hear is not necessarily how Mennonite and Amish families live. You may find it odd to hear that someone is sitting, typing on a forum, using a computer and telephone then getting up and going to town in a buggy, wearing clothes the english seem odd. Or that there could be someone of the Amish or Mennonite faith standing beside you and you would never know it. There is a lot of misconceptions about the community.
What is it that draws people from far to travel the countryside to see? We have had many a talk about it.
